Wow...June already! My oh my, how time flies when you're having fun! This last month of school will likely pass just as quickly with different class and school activities popping up everywhere.
I want to thank you for your support in helping to prepare your child for the EQAO. Completing the practice booklet each week for homework really helped students get acquainted with multiple choice. I am proud to say that all students worked very hard and woohoo...another item off the list!
Our goals this month:
Literacy(en français)/ Étude Sociale: During the month of June we will continue to learn about Native Cultures and read French Non-fiction texts that teach us about their daily lives during the 1800's. Students will have the opportunity to do a French research project to find out about clothing, foods, celebrations, use of natural environment for a particular First Nation tribe. All research and project work will be done at school.
Literacy (in English)
This month we will read different forms of texts such as poetry, narratives, informational, etc. as a review of what has been learned this year. Spelling/Word Work will also continue to be a part of our daily lessons both in English and French. The Students have made great progress this year learning English and are encouraged to read daily over the summer to continue to build knowledge of vocabulary. Word/Spelling games such as "Spellingcity.com" are a great way to keep the learning going during the summer months. Math During this final month of school our focus will be NUMBERS! Number Sense is so important, therefore we will review place value concepts and learn strategies for adding and subtracting three digit numbers...up to 1000! Do not trust your child when they say "all I did was play for math today!" I am a master at deception and the month of June requires super creative/fun ways to cover math concepts. Here is a homework game that can be played with cards. It would be great for reviewing two-digit and three-digit place value.
